4Chan: DDoS Attacks
July 25, 2008
The anonymous imageboard, 4Chan, is back down again like your mom on her knees. After approximately 4 days of DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks, the site still struggles to remain up for more than a few hours at a time like your PENIS.
Apparently it all started when a bunch of AnonTalks users started spamming 4Chan. Then some members of e/b/aums went after AnonTalk with a DDoS attack.

If it’s true, I’d expect v& for this scriptkiddie and more involved, unless moot is a pussy and hasn’t called the feebs yet.
